"Till the End of the Line"

Please enjoy and review!

Another week later, Tony and Davey had completed the suit of armor and had tested it out to make sure it worked.

Pepper had walked in on Tony when he was undressing himself from the armor and the woman had called Tatia who rushed over to yell at her boyfriend for whatever hair brained idea he had come up with.

As for Davey, she took off as quickly as she could before her mother turned her temper onto her and the girl was already in the dog house for graduating early from high school.

During that time, Davey had kept up her training with Jace, but she started to notice that he seemed to have moments where he stared off into space and seemed to be trapped inside of his mind.

He was beginning to remember more about his past, feeling like he was close to discovering who he was and wondered why the organization had captured him and turned him into their weapon.

There were a few good moments in his life that he remembered, but most of the things he saw were of the horrible things he had been forced to do and they gave him horrible nightmares.

Usually, he would be woken up by a concerned Davey who would be lying on the bed beside him, running her fingers through his hair and whispering comforting nonsense to calm him down.

She was worried over him, but he didn't know if he could tell her about what was going on inside his head, but he felt like he would need to since even more memories were surging to the forefront of his mind now that the organization were no longer hooking him up to that machine that electrocuted him and erased his memories.

One day, Jace decided to speak with Davey about what was going on inside his head.

Walking down the stairs, Jace made his way down to the kitchen when he heard voices.

"Princess, I think you're being paranoid." A male voice said.

Poking his head around the corner, Jace found a man sitting at the table, sitting on a mug of coffee.

When he saw the man, Jace felt a strange memory force itself into his mind.

A man with black hair, a moustache and dark brown eyes with golden flecks walked out onto stage, smiling and giving a show girl a kiss before turning his attention onto the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Howard Stark!" A woman announced.

Howard then wiped his mouth of any lipstick that was on him before he grabbed a microphone and addressed the audience.

"Dad, this is serious. The palladium is toxic and it'll kill you if it stays inside your body. You need to replace it with a different element." Davey's voice snapped Jace out of his memories.

Sighing, the Howard Stark lookalike shook his head and seemed to grow a bit depressed.

"I know. But, Davey, I don't know what element to use to replace it. We could probably use vibranium, you know, if your grandfather didn't ruin all chances of us trading with Wakanda after he stole a huge chunk of it to make Rogers' shield." He said spitefully.

"Oh, look at that. Once again, Grandpa's selfish actions come back to bite us in the ass." Davey said sounding angered.

Veemon then climbed up into a chair at the table, blowing at the steam rising from his mug of hot chocolate.

"Maybe Howard has something in his old workshop that can help. After all, Davey, you find plenty of things in that place to fiddle around with." Veemon suggested.

"Maybe." Davey frowned.

"Then it's agreed. I'll focus on exposing Stane and you focus on trying to save my life before the palladium kills me." Tony said.

"Dad, don't joke!" Davey snapped.

She looked angered and also very fearful at the thought of losing her father.

His expression softening, Tony walked around the table and leaned down to place a kiss on his daughter's forehead.

"Sorry. And honestly, I am scared. But what scares me even more is Stane finding out about you and trying to hurt you. That's why I hope that bird brained moron finds some incriminating evidence so we can put him away." Tony sighed.

"It won't matter. He'll find a way to escape with all of his influences and will find a way to come after us again. The only thing we can do is wait for him to try and kill us, then Hawkeye and Black Widow can kill him to make sure he can never cause trouble ever again." Davey said sounding depressed.

"Hey, do not talk like that, Davia. He is not gonna touch you. I'd kill him first." Tony said making sure his daughter was meeting his eyes to know how serious he was.

Jace watched as the family interacted, seeing the bond that was shared between father and daughter, knowing that both loved each other dearly and would do whatever they could to keep each other safe.

Waiting until Tony left; Jace then walked out of his hiding spot and captured the attention of Davey who looked over at the man.

"How long have you been there?" She asked with teary eyes.

"Long enough. How are you feeling?" Jace asked as he kneeled down in front of her.

"Stressed. Worried. And a hell of a lot of things that makes me feel like locking myself up and just crying." Davey said.

Frowning at the look of despair that was on the girl's face, Jace took her hands in his own, lifting them up to his lips and he kissed them.

He hated feeling helpless and unable to help the girl, especially after she had opened her home to him and helped him with his injuries and fixed his arm.

"Do you want me to take care of this Stane guy?" He asked.

Confused by what he meant, Davey lifted her head and met the gaze of the man.

"What do you mean?" She asked him.

"I've done some bad things over the years and I've got a lot of blood on my hands. But, this time, I'll be fine with the small amount of blood if it means getting rid of an evil man that has been hurting your family." He said.

Shocked when she now realized what the man meant, Davey shook her head and leaned forward, placing her hands on Jace's cheeks.

"No, I can't ask you to do that. I don't want you killing someone for me." She told him.

"I just want to keep you safe." Jace said staring into those beautiful brown eyes he adored.

"Thank you, but I don't want you to do that. This is my family's problem. We'll handle this." Davey gave a small smile.

"You don't have to deal with it alone, though. I'm here for you. I'm with you till the end of the line." Jace said.

For some reason, the words he spoke felt familiar to him.

Davey's form then took on one of a young man with blond hair and blue eyes who was staring up at him with a small smile, just like the one the berry haired girl was giving him.

"Thanks, Jace." She whispered.

"Bucky." He spoke.

Fluttering eyes at the name that Jace had just spoken, Davey watched in confusion as the man's face gained a determined expression on it.

"What?" She asked.

"My name is Bucky. Not Jace. I'm sorry it took me a while to tell you, krolik." He gave her a sad puppy dog look.

"Don't worry about it. I mean, I never really told you my name when we first met, either. But it is gonna be weird calling you something else. I got so used to calling you Jace. But, I'll get used to it. Nice to finally meet you, Bucky." She grinned at him.

Smiling brightly at how kind and understanding the girl was, Jac-Bucky stood up and leaned forward, pressing a kiss to Davey's forehead.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, doll." He drawled in a Brooklyn accent.

That made Davey laugh and a blush colored her cheeks, amused by the way Bucky was acting.

Veemon, who had raced off into the living room to leave the duo alone, rolled his eyes at the two humans, wondering when they were finally going to confess their feelings for each other.

They had been having secret meetings for half a year and it was obvious that the man had romantic feelings for her.

Then again, maybe he was waiting until she turned 18 years old before he finally made a move on her since he looked to be in his twenties.

Leaving the future couple alone, Veemon then went back to watching a movie on the TV and also trying to decide what restaurant they should order dinner from.
